George Mason University (George Mason, Mason, or GMU) is a public research university in Fairfax County, Virginia near Washington, D.C.[1] The university was originally founded as the Northern Virginia University Center of the University of Virginia in 1949 as an extension school and regional branch of the University of Virginia for mid-career working professionals and non-traditional students in Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area.

The university has since expanded into a residential college for traditional students with an emphasis on combining modern practice-based professional education with a comprehensive traditional liberal arts curriculum while maintaining its historic commuter student-inclusive environment at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels.[2][3][4] The university operates four campuses in Virginia in Fairfax, Arlington, Front Royal, and Prince William Counties. It also operates a retreat and conference center in Lorton[5] and an international campus in Incheon, South Korea. The university's flagship campus is in Fairfax, Virginia.

Named after Founding Father of the United States George Mason in 1959, it became an independent university in 1972. The school has since grown into the largest public university in the Commonwealth of Virginia.[6][7][8] The university is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity."[9] Two professors, James M. Buchanan in 1986 and Vernon L. Smith in 2002, were awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics during their time at George Mason University.[10]

In 1949, the University of Virginia created an extension center to serve mid-career working professionals and non-traditional students near urban centers in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.[11][8] The extension center offered both for credit and non-credit informal classes in the evenings at various pre-existing venues.[8]Шаблон:Rp The first for credit classes offered were: "Government in the Far East, Introduction to International Politics, English Composition, Principles of Economics, Mathematical Analysis, Introduction to Mathematical Statistics, and Principles of Lip Reading."[8] By the end of 1952, enrollment was 1,192 students.[8]

A resolution of the Virginia General Assembly in January 1956 changed the extension center into University College, the Northern Virginia branch of the University of Virginia.[12]Шаблон:Self-published inline John Norville Gibson Finley served as director.[13] Seventeen freshmen students attended classes at University College in a small renovated elementary school building in Bailey's Crossroads starting in September 1957.[14] In 1958 University College became George Mason College.[12]

The City of Fairfax purchased and donated Шаблон:Convert of land just south of the city limits to the University of Virginia for the college's new site, which is now referred to as the Fairfax Campus. In 1959, the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia selected a permanent name for the college: George Mason College of the University of Virginia. The Fairfax campus construction planning that began in early 1960 showed visible results when the development of the first Шаблон:Convert of Fairfax Campus began in 1962. In the Fall of 1964 the new campus welcomed 356 students.[15]Шаблон:Self-published inline

During the 1966 Session of the Virginia General Assembly, Alexandria delegate James M. Thomson, with the backing of the University of Virginia, introduced a bill in the General Assembly to make George Mason College a four-year institution under the University of Virginia's direction. The measure, known as H 33,[16] passed the Assembly easily and was approved on March 1, 1966, making George Mason College a degree-granting institution. During that same year, the local jurisdictions of Fairfax County, Arlington County, and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church agreed to appropriate $3 million to purchase land adjacent to Mason to provide for a Шаблон:Convert Fairfax Campus with the intention that the institution would expand into a regional university of major proportions, including the granting of graduate degrees.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 1972, Virginia separated George Mason College from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and renamed it George Mason University.[17] In 1978, George W. Johnson was appointed to serve as the fourth president.[18] Under his eighteen-year tenure, the university expanded both its physical size and program offerings at a tremendous rate.[18][19] Shortly before Johnson's inauguration in April 1979, Mason acquired the School of Law and the new Arlington Campus. The university also became a doctoral institution.[18] Toward the end of Johnson's term, Mason would be deep in planning for a third campus in Prince William County at Manassas. Major campus facilities, such as Student Union Building II, EagleBank Arena, Center for the Arts, and the Johnson Learning Center, were all constructed over the course of Johnson's eighteen years as University President. Enrollment once again more than doubled from 10,767 during the fall of 1978 to 24,368 in the spring of 1996.[20]

Alan G. Merten was appointed president in 1996. He believed that the university's location made it responsible for both contributing to and drawing from its surrounding communities—local, national, and global. George Mason was becoming recognized and acclaimed in all of these spheres. During Merten's tenure, the university hosted the World Congress of Information Technology in 1998,[21] celebrated a second Nobel Memorial Prize-winning faculty member in 2002, and cheered the Men's Basketball team in their NCAA Final Four appearance in 2006. Enrollment increased from just over 24,000 students in 1996 to approximately 33,000 during the spring semester of 2012, making Mason Virginia's largest public university and gained prominence at the national level.[22]

Ángel Cabrera officially took office on July 1, 2012. Both Cabrera and the board were well aware that Mason was part of a rapidly changing academia, full of challenges to the viability of higher education.

21st century

In a resolution on August 17, 2012, the board asked Cabrera to create a new strategic vision that would help Mason remain relevant and competitive in the future. The drafting of the Vision for Mason, from conception to official outline, created a new mission statement that defines the university.[23]

On March 25, 2013, Cabrera held a press conference to announce the university's decision to leave the Colonial Athletic Association to join the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10). The announcement came just days after the Board of Visitors' approval of the university's Vision document that Cabrera had overseen. Mason began competition in the A-10 during the 2013–2014 academic year, and Mason's association with the institutions that comprise the A-10 started a new chapter in Mason athletics, academics, and other aspects of university life.[24] The Chronicle of Higher Education listed Mason as one of the "Great Colleges to Work For" from 2010 to 2014.[25] The Washington Post listed Mason as one of the "Top Workplaces" in 2014.[26]

The WorldatWork Alliance for Work-Life Progress awarded Mason the Seal of Distinction in 2015.[27] The AARP listed Mason as one of the Best Employers for Workers Over 50 in 2013.[28] Phi Beta Kappa established a chapter at the university in 2013.[29]

In 2018, a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit revealed that conservative donors, including the Charles Koch Foundation and Federalist Society, were given direct influence over faculty hiring decisions at the university's law and economics schools. GMU President Ángel Cabrera acknowledged that the revelations raised questions about the university's academic integrity and pledged to prohibit donors from sitting on faculty selection committees in the future.[30]

Cabrera resigned his position on July 31, 2019, to become president of Georgia Tech.[31][32] Following Cabrera's resignation, Anne B. Holton served as interim president until June 30, 2020.[32]

On February 24, 2020, the Board of Visitors appointed Gregory Washington as the university's eighth president, and he assumed that role on July 1, 2020. Washington is the university's first African-American president.[33]

On March 23, 2020, George Mason shifted to exclusively online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hybrid instruction occurred during the Fall 2020, Spring 2021, and Fall 2021 semesters during which the university offered a combination of online and in-person instruction.[34]

Traditions

Файл:Bench painting.jpg
Benches painted by students outside the Fenwick Library

Students have often decorated the George Mason statue on the Fairfax campus for events. Some have rubbed the statue toe to bring good luck. Many pose with the statue for graduation photographs.[117] Between 1988 and 1990 Anthony Maiello wrote the original George Mason Fight Song, which was edited by Michael Nickens in 2009.[118]

Each spring, student organizations at Mason compete to paint one of the 38 benches located on the Quad in front of Fenwick Library. For years, student organizations have painted those benches that line the walkway to gain recognition for their group. With more than 300 student organizations, there is much competition to paint one of the benches. Painting takes place in the spring.[119]

Housing

On the Fairfax campus, the northernmost housing is technically on campus, but about a mile (1600 m) from the center of campus, about a half mile (800 m) from the edge of the majority of the Fairfax campus in the housing area known as the Townhouses.[120] On the eastern edge of the Fairfax campus lies Masonvale, houses intended for graduate students and visiting faculty.[121] On the southern edge of the Fairfax campus are President's Park, Liberty Square, and Potomac Heights.

Koch Foundation funding and Economics department

Шаблон:Austrian School sidebar George Mason University has been subject to controversy surrounding donations from the Charles Koch Foundation, in particular to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences' Department of Economics,[147][148][149] which was seen as being allegedly influenced by libertarian political thought, evidenced by the political activities of the Koch brothers. University documents revealed that the Koch brothers were given the ability to pick candidates as a condition of monetary donations.[148] George Mason University altered its donor rules following the controversy.[154]

Law school

Antonin Scalia Law School

The naming of the Antonin Scalia Law School after the late conservative United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the hiring of conservative United States Supreme Court Justices Bret Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Clarence Thomas as professors, the allegedly “lavish treatments,” speaking gigs, and "all-experiences-paid" travel arrangements they received, its close ties with the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, and the extensive provision of professional development and continuing education programs, as well as speaking engagements for sitting judges of lower and appellate divisions - in particular dealing with the topic of law and economics - has brought on controversy on the university itself, the Supreme Court of the United States, and the Federal Judiciary of the United States as a whole over the overt conservative political influence taking place at the law school and the university’s growing influence over the U.S. judicial system. The law school had also received some controversy due to its relationship with the overtly libertarian university-affiliated Mercatus Center[155][150] think tank which is known to have received donations from a conservative political donor group known as The 85 Fund-Judicial Education Project headed by conservative legal activist Leonard Leo.[150]

Public policy school

Headquarters of the Schar School of Policy and Government and the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security

George Mason University's public policy school and political science department, the Schar School of Policy and Government, was the subject of some controversy over its relationship with former intelligence agency personnel of the United States Intelligence Community. In particular, the 2009 hiring of General Michael Hayden, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), and principal deputy director of national intelligence—Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the hiring of Robert Deitz, former general counsel of the NSA, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), senior counsel to the director of the CIA, and the deputy general counsel for intelligence at the U.S. Department of Defense were controversial due to Hayden's and Deitz's alleged roles in mass surveillance including the NSA warrantless surveillance programs of 2001–2007 and other similar ethical criticisms.[156][157]

Former intelligence officers Michael Haden, Robert Deitz, and Larry Pfeiffer (who was chief of staff of the CIA), founded the university-affiliated Michael V. Hayden Center while working at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government. The center has a secretive, undisclosed board of advisors composed of non-academic "intelligence, national security, legal, corporate, and international security" communities who guide strategy.[158]

The George Mason University's historical hoaxes were a group of internet hoaxes and a disinformation campaigns created by students as part of a class project for a course on "Lying about the Past" taught by history professor T. Mills Kelly, with the goal of creating an Internet deception that affected news media platforms.[159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166]

Sexual misconduct

In 2016 a male student won an appeal overturning his suspension for sexual assault.[167]

The Title IX process (which investigates sex discrimination) at George Mason University has continued to be subject to controversy. Following the hiring of Brett Kavanaugh as a visiting professor in the law school in 2019, students circulated a petition demanding not only the removal of Kavanaugh, but to increase the number of Title IX Coordinators on campus. The petition received 10,000 signatures and resulted in approval for funding for two more Title IX Coordinator positions.[168]

In 2018, Peter Pober was alleged to have committed sexual misconduct during his tenure as a Competitive Speech Coach.[169] He retired while being investigated for misconduct.[170]
